BOGOS’ 10th Year – An amazing journey
BOGOS (Formerly Free Gifts) has been crucial to my career development, almost like my cherished brainchild. With Thomas’s e-commerce expertise, James’s deep technological foundation, and Stephen’s boundless enthusiasm, we successfully launched the BOGOS app on the Shopify App Store at the end of 2014. Looking back on those early days, we faced many difficulties while trying to figure everything out on our own due to the lack of API documentation, Shopify platform limitations, and a shortage of human resources. At one point, we had to completely overhaul the app’s mechanics to deliver a better customer experience.
Thankfully, everything went on the right track. Recognizing a golden opportunity, we expanded the team at the beginning of 2016. That was also when we established our first office. With new team members and the growing success of BOGOS and our other apps, Secomus was officially founded in 2017, marking a period of remarkable growth for BOGOS in 2017-2018.
However, due to the app’s seasonal nature—customers only needed the app for holiday campaigns—BOGOS grew slowly. Coupled with Shopify’s platform limitations causing the app’s operational issues, the BOD decided to place the app in maintenance mode to focus resources on other new potential projects.

Free Gifts (formerly known) was the first idea I developed when starting a new business on the Shopify platform in 2014 with three co-founders of Secomapp. Being our first app, it provided invaluable experience that helped us expand, develop other apps, and continuously improve Free Gifts to better serve our customers.
2024 has been a year of great success for the BOGOS team, and we look forward to even greater breakthroughs in the coming year.
Stephen Do
I still remember the sleepless nights supporting customers and ensuring that BOGOS operated seamlessly throughout BFCM. In 2023, when I had the opportunity to attend the Shopify Summit in LA, I was overjoyed to hear many Shopify agencies and experts share that they continue to use and recommend Bogos to Shopify merchants.
On the occasion of Bogos' 10th anniversary, I wish the team continued growth and strength, helping even more Shopify merchants create million-dollar promotional campaigns.

It's hard to believe it’s already been 10 years. Free Gifts was our very first project, one we built while simultaneously learning a new programming language and navigating the lack of API documentation from Shopify at the time. Looking back, everything has improved so much—technology, the team, the app’s branding, and more. The app is set to become even better and achieve greater milestones.
I wish the team continued success and hope to see the app become the most successful one in the promotion category.
Lucy Nguyen
I'm proud to have been part of the BOGOS app team in its early days, and it’s been an amazing experience to witness the team's growth and success. The team's innovative approach and dedication to delivering top-notch solutions have not only transformed how businesses operate on Shopify but also empowered countless merchants to create compelling offers that drive revenue. Their focus on security, user experience, continuous improvement, and responsiveness to merchant feedback truly sets them apart in the industry, making them the top choice for Free Gifts BOGO apps.
Congratulations on 10 years of excellence!

It’s such an honor to join BOGOS for half of the 10-year journey! I joined Secomus as a Marketing Intern and then Customer Support position. This position has enriched me with knowledge of users’ needs, which greatly helps me with my current position as Product Development Leader. My proudest achievement is contributing to both BOGOS 1.0 and 2.0. BOGOS is now more user-friendly and advanced, with upgraded gift and bundle features. A big shout-out to BOGOS's amazing journey!

When I first joined BOGOS, I was pretty anxious, unsure if I could contribute to the growth of an app that's been around for nearly a decade. However, after becoming part of the project and witnessing the team's dedication and quality and the strong foundation the app has built over the years, I grew confident that BOGOS would achieve even greater success. The accomplishments of 2024 are clear proof of that, and I'm thrilled to have played a part in this success.
